Burlap Covered Letters

Do you need a quick, easy, and affordable home decor item? Well then we have the perfect little craft for you! We are all about burlap and monograms, the perfect combination, and these Burlap Covered Letters would be a fabulous accent in your home!

First, gather all your supplies. Next, place your paper mache’ letter on the burlap and trace around the letter with the pen or pencil…

Cut out the burlap letter {HINT:Cut to the inside of your tracing line to prevent the ink from showing!}. Paint the wooden base and paper mache’ letter on all sides with the linen colored paint and allow to dry.

Spray the paper mache’ letter with spray adhesive and apply the burlap cut out letter…

Next, apply a light coat of the linen colored paint all over the burlap . You will need to push the sponge brush down into the texture of the burlap. We allowed the paint to dry and then touched up a few areas that we missed!

Of course, the burlap letter looks fabulous without the paint as well. Depending on where you will use the finished letter will determine if you might like to skip the painting step! The final step is to simply glue the burlap letter to the wooden base using your hot glue gun…

That’s it! This is such a simple and quite inexpensive project that packs a punch! You can use these so many places to add texture and personalization. This one was used in a kitchen bookcase, we also have an easy tutorial for thoseDIY vintage crates !

There is just something about the combination of burlap and letters that makes a home feel cozy and welcoming!

We hope that you have enjoyed our tutorial on creating a Burlap Covered Letter…

I am a wife and mom to 2 fabulous children. My love for creating crafts, home decor, seasonal decor, and sewing has led me to my desire to share that with you here at Uncommon Designs. I am happy to have you stop by our little slice of the blog world and join us in Creating the Extraordinary! Enjoy!

I liked seeing how you chose to do it. I think it would be fun to have a variety of different letter effects going in one room too. Thanks for the idea of the paint on top. I wouldn’t have thought of that. It turned out really well. Typography always adds to the look of a space in a positive way, as far as I’m concerned anyway. Thanks for the how-to. I hope you’ll stop over and visit me at Quirky Vistas!Liz
